Absolutely dire, from the iconic album opening lines of the writer being spoken by a woman to the pregnant smoking mistress cohabiting in Victorian England, it ticked various 2019 moral and attitude boxes but disrespected the original story by sidelining it with all the modern day nonsense. CGI was par for the course and I ended up skipping through to look for the unleashing of the heat ray to find that reminded me more of The Day the earth stood still remake than WotW, won't be bothering with the other two episodes.
Since they already have an accomplished director within the cast, I'm unsure why they didn't let Mr Carlyle have a go at this.
Glaswegians taking on the tripods might have made this worth its prime time slot.
